"Simon was very prompt in his responses and his availability and his prices were fair. He installed wallpaper to a powder room that required a lot of cutting and aligning. He did this work with precision, and it looks fantastic! He completed this project in a little less than 6 hours too!"

"MNM did an excellent job hanging wallpaper in our nursery. The wallpaper looks terrific and there were some difficult parts to the job. MNM was easy to deal with at a reasonable price and handled everything very well. I would hire them again."

"4 men were here for 4 days and 3 were here on the 5th and final day. They came exactly at 7:30 AM, and left about 4:30-5:00, working constantly with only a short break for lunch. Things they did beyond their job: Shoveling snow & ice and putting salt on the steps. Taking out my garbage, 1 garbage and two recycling bags. Cleaning everything except what I said not to, because I need to sort through some stuff. Cleaning a bunch of black gunk left under some bookends on my desk Removing masking tape gunk on the 7 windows in the sun porch, ghosts of many long ago Christmases They cleaned the glass windows from every room in which they worked They cleaned 5 of my 6 ceiling fans.....why not #6? some of the things I moved prior to their arrival was stored in that room. They vacuumed the rugs in all the rooms in which they worked They vacuumed the steps going down the front hall They kept asking if I was sure there wasn't anything else I wanted them to do....."

Wallpaper Removal FAQs, answered by experts

Wallpaper steamers can be very helpful for removing large sections of wallpaper more easily, but they’re not always a good idea for DIYers. The drywall behind your wallpaper is meant to stay dry, and excessive moisture from improper technique with a wallpaper steamer can leave you with severe wall damage. Drywall also retains moisture, which could result in mold growth over time. It’s best to hire a professional to remove your wallpaper with a steamer to avoid wall damage and related moisture issues.

The average cost to install or hang wallpaper is around $575 per room or project, with typical prices ranging from $200 to $1,500. Costs can be higher for custom or luxury products. Since project size varies, it's often helpful to estimate labor costs per square foot, which generally fall between $1 and $7, with an average of $4 per square foot. The total cost depends on several factors, including the quality and type of wallpaper, the size and type of the room, and whether old wallpaper must be removed first. Opting for less expensive materials like peel-and-stick wallpaper or choosing to do the installation yourself can lower the overall cost. For the most accurate estimate, it is best to have a professional inspect the space and provide a quote.

It can take a professional anywhere between several hours and a full day to remove wallpaper in one room. How long wallpaper removal takes depends on the type of adhesive, the wallpaper’s age, the condition of the walls, and more.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

Removing wallpaper can be easy if you have a non-coated wallpaper, but most homeowners have vinyl-coated wallpaper, which is more durable but tears very easily during the removal process. This feature makes it challenging and time-consuming to remove most wallpaper. There are tools to speed up the process, like steamers, but, unfortunately, it’s easy to permanently damage your walls when using them. In most cases, it’s best to hire a professional wallpaper remover to get the job done quickly and without damaging your home.
